Fortnite Season 5: Release Date, Themes, Leaks, Skins, and Clues

Fortnite Season 5 is getting close and new clues and mysteries are appearing throughout Season 4 that tease what's to come. Any updates on leaks, skins, the Battle Pass, and other changes will be updated on this page!

How will the heroes vs villains theme end? What's inside the meteor in Dusty Divot? The missile rocket in the evil lair? What about that giant dinosaur footprint? And what's with the weird TV display?

The Durr Burger that disappeared from Fortnite's map was suddenly discovered in a California desert. A police car along with an agent who handed out cards with a phone number were also present at the site.

Not long after, llamas began appearing in different European cities. There was nothing inside the llamas and there wasn't much you could do to interact with them, but it was cool nonetheless. The list of all seven llama locations:

Before the event took place, Epic announced that a one-time event was to take place on Saturday, June 30 at 10:30am PT. Everyone who logged on and entered a game at that time witnessed the rocket launching from the evil lair.

As expected, the rocket launched from the evil lair and headed straight up into the sky. Soon after, a red laser touched down on Tilted Towers and the rocket returned to supposedly destroy the infamous town. Just before impact, the rocket hit what looked liked an invisible shield. The rocket vanished and reappeared a little distance away where it began to move out of control. At the end, the rocket shot back up where it tore a large rip in the sky.

Starting with Week 7, red ominous skulls started to appear on every TV on the map. Similar to the last season's color bars that appeared towards the end of the season, this strange message seems to be pointing at something big coming soon.

The start of Season 4 brought the demise of Dusty Depot with a giant crater and a research center around the meteorite that created the impact.

With each passing week, the meteorite was continuously drilled into until the metallic object inside was fully revealed during Week 7. The object turned out to be some kind of holding chamber and whatever was inside seems to have escaped.

These weekly changes coincided with the Blockbuster challenges where the final loading screen revealed the Visitor skin standing in front of the meteorite. Completing seven weeks of challenges will unlock the Visitor outfit.

At the start of Season 4, Hop Rocks became available to collect at every crater on the map. Since then, they've slowly been moved into transport trucks and each week these trucks move to a different location.

Looking at them from afar, they seem to all be headed towards the villain's lair on the west side of the map where the rocket is at. What are all these Hop Rocks needed for?

The evil lair on the west side of the map has been around since the start of Season 4, but it looks like it's going to play a much larger role than previously expected.

According to a recent datamine of the 4.4 patch, the missile rocket is set to take off and players will even be able to activate the rocket themselves. Players who go to the evil lair now can see a new hologram activated near the missile.

To help further this, the leaked Week 8 loading screen shows the new Visitor outfit initiating a launch sequence on the missile.

What exactly happens once the rocket takes off? Nothing has been shared or leaked so far, but the remaining updates of Season 4 will surely start providing more answers.

The theme for Season 4 seems to pit heroes against villains as so many of the costumes and skins play into this theme.

The two primary characters, Carbide and Omega, are the two heads of each faction. Both have their own set of unlockable challenges and each skin features different unlockable parts that become increasingly harder to get. The Week 6 challenges have you spraypainting Carbide and Omega posters scattered across the map.

The second loading screen unlocked in the Blockbuster challenges shows Omega escaping the prison. Is he behind all the current mysterious like the skulls on TV and the transporting Hop Rocks?

There's a lone hatch found in the depths of Wailing Woods with seemingly no purpose. You can't destroy and certainly can't go inside. Now that there's a rocket in the mix, perhaps this will somehow be used to escape whatever the rocket decides to hit?

At one point it seemed Season 5 may be dinosaur themed when a giant footprint was discovered to the west of Greasy Grove. Now it seems like it was merely something used for this season's movie and film theme, but you never know!

At one point during Season 4, strange roots started to appear all across the map. Like the hatch, they can't be destroyed and they seemingly have no purpose. Is there something growing underneath the map?

Dusty Divot received the most changes throughout Season 4, specifically the drilling of the meteor and the earth's reclamation of the area. Every week, additional trees and larger patches of grass are starting to appear in the area. While it might not point to what Season 5 will be about, it is worth noting that this area will most likely look different by the time Season 4 comes to an end.
